The 70s suede is the fabric of the season and although I have been pretty much living in this suede skirtI have also been looking for a jacket which is close to this Valentino beauty. The burgundy shade is a great alternative to the usual brown colour so when I saw this wrap around number in H&M (sold out but check out Mango) I had to have it! The suede is really soft and I like how you can tie it around for a fitted look, but the downside is if you want to leave it open the belt hangs down to your feet awkwardly and it doesn’t have pockets which I think is essential for any jacket!

The color of this coat is amazing- I love it! I do have a thing about pockets though, so I don’t know if I would wear one without any. I think having a lightweight suede jacket would be good for spring!
